Secure your sales with retention-of-title clauses published with the Clerk’s Office
For many companies, granting payment terms is essential for developing their business. But how can you avoid the risk of non-payment? Clauses de réserve de propriété (retention of title clauses), published by the Registrar of Companies, are an ideal solution for securing your transactions, by deferring the transfer of ownership of goods until they have been paid for in full. At KREANCIA, we make it easy to integrate and manage these clauses, so you can concentrate on your business with complete peace of mind.
Retention of title: essential legal certainty
Including a reservation of title clause in your sales contracts, then publishing it with the Registrar, offers solid protection against unpaid invoices, and ensures that the goods remain your property until full payment has been received. This mechanism offers several key advantages:
Protection against pledging
If your customer tries to pledge the goods, the reservation of title registration makes your right of ownership enforceable against his pledgees.
Publicity and enforceability :
Registration makes your right of ownership public and secures exchanges, including with third parties (such as the customer’s creditors).
Strengthening your factoring company’s rights
The retention-of-title clause ensures subrogation in your rights to protect the factor if your customer resells the goods.
Simplify legal action and restitution with KREANCIA
In the event of non-payment, KREANCIA will take legal action to obtain the return of the goods. This includes :
- Support in the event of insolvency proceedings: If your customer is facing insolvency proceedings, our registration with the clerk’s office protects your property rights, enabling you to take direct action for restitution without having to file a claim. This time-saving feature is essential if you want to act quickly.
- Flexibility in negotiation: When the retention of assets is strategic for the customer, we facilitate negotiations with the court-appointed administrator to consider settlement instead of restitution.
